It's pretty fast on my setup with proprietary NVIDA drivers (8800gts). As for features/config, it is still pre-alpha, I notice new things every week. If they are integrating CSS theming I don't thing they are philosophically opposed to customising the animations
I see what you are saying about context, but it is still a new field. There has been a lot of work about the zoom UI that is promising. There are some videos by Aza Raskin which opened my mind to this approach. 2009/10/17 Денис Черемисов <de...@cheremisov.net>: > Omg, overlay appearance swiches the context, not the way overlay is called. > This overlay flashy appearance disturbes me and many other people very much. > The overlay for gnome-shell resembles me cube and wobbly-windows for compiz: > it's exciting, it's inconvenient -- it can be done without such a massive > redrawing. > Here is my list: > 1) Expo effect is quite useless.
